What is Bamboo Fabric?
- Bamboo textile is an eco-friendly material, which is made from the pulp of bamboo grass.
- It is naturally smooth and has anti-allergic properties.
- Bamboo fabric is much more flexible in comparison to cotton.
- The process of making bamboo fabric is environmentally friendly.
History
- Traditionally bamboo was used for producing weapons and paper.
- The initial patenting of bamboo was done in 1864 by Philipp Lichtenstadt.
- The main idea behind this was to make a useful method for disintegrating the bamboo fibers to produce cloth, pulp for paper, and many more.
- However, bamboo fabric entered the commercial market during the early 2000s.
- In 2001, Beijing University became the first institution to make cloth from bamboo.
